I'm So Upset!

I am really annoyed, frustrated, aggravated, etc.,etc.

She told me she found a new type of corn tortilla and she would like to make me a hamberger type tortilla with salsa and cheese. I asked if she read the ingredients on the label and she said 'yes, it is fine' and I said are your sure and she said 'yes'. So after I took 2 bites she said 'stop eating it, it has wheat in it'. She really didn't know and ended up double checking after I started eating it.

I know she didn't mean it and was upset that it happened...but I feel like who can you trust if you can't trust your own mother? I guess other's don't really understand unless they deal with it everyday, no matter who they are!

Now, my stomach is hurting a little, but more than anything else it is bloated and feels like its stretched out 3 inches in 2 1/2 hours. THe only other symptom I have so far is that I burped about 10 times after eating it.

Ugh!

I hope you feel better soon. I've glutened my daughter and have felt horrible for it (ordered her ice cream without thinking about cc from the scoop). If I could have, I would have suffered for her. It is all a learning experience and I bet your mom will ALWAYS double check everything now.

I'm so sorry. Waiting for the reaction to start is the worst. Your mom is miserable right now too. Maybe you would want to talk with your mom about when and how you want to try new foods?

Feel better

Thanks for the understanding replies. I will talk with my mom again about it. I know she tries to be careful and my sister has been celiac for 10 years so she does know all about it. I was pretty upset immediately after it happened, but saw she was getting upset so I said "well, at least now we will know how I react". and tried to make light of it. She is just not always careful enough, it is her personality on many things.

We finally convinced mom to get tested. She had bloodwork which came up negative, but she also started cutting out gluten (which we told her not to do) prior to the bloodwork. She's getting the endoscope test in 2 weeks. She is diabetic and has so many symptoms. She was even tested by an allergist many years ago who told her to stay away from wheat. She hasn't and said she gets a funny head every time she eats wheat, especially whole wheat.

This morning I have a sick feeling stomach, am having horrible allergy symptoms (stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy throat) and feel constipated. Not sure if it's because of the gluten, but going on the diet made my allergy symptoms almost gone. I can count on one hand the amount of time I've had to take allergy meds in 2 months and I used to take them regularly. I know when I used to drink regular beer it would cause the same exact symptoms.

Does anyone else get horrible allergy symptoms as a result of getting glutened?

I do. Claritin is gluten free and so is the equate brand found at walmart.

I do too - before I found out I had Celiac, when I would drink beer, I would have allergy symptoms too. Benedryl was my friend LOL

Thanks for the replies! I thought it was just me. I've been on Clarinex and Nasonex almost steadily for quite a while, but when I went gluten free I hardly need them any more.

I didn't make the beer connection until I had a Redbridge beer just before going gluten free. I couldn't believe I could breathe well after drinking it. That's when my sister said she thought I must be allergic to barley.

Do you think we have wheat, barley allergies as well as celiac?

What other symptoms do you get when eating gluten by mistake? I never had the 'D' problem or lost weight, I was gaining.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
